Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Plant biomass degradation supported by non-enzymatic proteins

, 2017
Lignocellulosic biomass, rich in potential carbon sources and value added products, has been intensively investigated in scope of its costefficient and effective decomposition. Many methods were developed, physicochemical or biological. Nevertheless, they are either expensive, inefficient or pose threat to the environment. Recently discovered proteins,

Holistic Assessment of Rumen Microbiome Dynamics through Quantitative Metatranscriptomics Reveals Multifunctional Redundancy during Key Steps of Anaerobic Feed Degradation

mSystems, 2018
Ruminant livestock is a major source of the potent greenhouse gas methane. The complex rumen microbiome, consisting of bacteria, archaea, and microbial eukaryotes, facilitates anaerobic plant biomass degradation in the cow rumen, leading to methane ...

Visible light-exposed lignin facilitates cellulose solubilization by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases

Nature Communications, 2023
Degradation of plant biomass, comprised of cellulose and polyaromatic lignin, is promoted by light. Here, the authors show that light promotes lignin-catalyzed generation of hydrogen peroxide, which is used by redox enzymes to degrade cellulose.

Plant biomass allocation and driving factors of grassland revegetation in a Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau chronosequence

Land Degradation and Development, 2020
Biomass allocation is a key factor in understanding how ecosystems respond to changing environmental conditions. The role of soil chemistry in the above‐ and belowground plant biomass allocation in restoring grassland is still incompletely characterized.

Assessing the potential of different biochars to support Miscanthus × giganteus phytoremediation in petroleum hydrocarbons-contaminated soil

Industrial Crops and Products
Soil contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) poses a persistent environmental challenge. This study evaluated the phytoremediation of Miscanthus × giganteus (M×g) in PHs-contaminated soil (0, 10, and 20 g kg−1) using a semi-controlled pot ...
